Bearing Supply
As a family-owned and -operated business, USA Roller Chain and Sprockets brings a family experience when you need to buy bearings online. Providing superior service to a global market, we have the inventory and bearing supply to support everyone, from end users to OEMs and resellers. If you're looking for where to find bearings, look no further than USA Roller Chain and Sprockets. We are a bearing supplier offering bearings with different levels of tolerance to fit your needs, from ABEC 1, the loosest tolerances, through ABEC 10, the tightest tolerances.
We supply rolling element bearings in which either a ball or roller (cylinder) is situated between two races. The rolling element reduces friction between the two races, allowing for axial rotation. A roller bearing typically has a cage to keep the rolling elements in place so they don't bind in the bearing. Bearings can be found in many different sizes, from less than an inch in diameter to many feet in diameter. Log on or call USA Roller Chain and Sprockets to find out how we can meet your bearing needs today.
